Man sentenced to 45 years in prison for cutting off girlfriend's nipple with scissors

A man from South Dokota identified as Tony Ledbetter, has been sentenced to 45 years in prison for cutting his ex-girlfriend’s breasts and hacking her nipples with scissors.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀45-year-old Ledbetter pleaded guilty to three counts of aggravated assault. As part of his plea deal, prosecutors agreed to ask for no more than a 30 year sentence, but Judge Doug Hoffman went against the agreement giving Ledbetter a weightier sentence.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Ledbetter was accused of hacking off the unnmaed woman’s nipples with a pair of scissors after an argument they had last year. Ledbetter later apologised publicly for the wicked act but the victim responded with “Do you feel like a man?”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀The victim told the court that the incident left her physically and emotionally drained.
